Bz Zhang 张迪 (born 1991) is an American artist and architect based in Los Angeles, California.

Through drawings, paintings, photographs, texts, objects, spaces, and maps, their work uses documentation and speculation to unravel cultural constructions (ideas of people, places, and things) and their physical constructions (whether birthed or built).
